An Australian bouncer who slapped a US Marine outside a nightclub so hard it could have killed him has been jailed for three months.
Hayden Summers, 34, was sentenced to a three-year and three-month suspended sentence for hitting Glen Thomason on April 11, 2021.
Thomason had been thrown out of Monsoons bar in Darwin and entered into an argument with Summers who had sent the original bouncer away in an attempt to cool down the situation.
The soldier demanded to be let back in and told Summers he was a 'trained killer' before hitting out at the air in front of the bouncer.
